Where PDF and XSL-FO Output is Saved

If a full path is not provided in the SaveAs command, the PDF and XSL-FO files that users generate from Web Forms DataWindow objects are saved by default in the virtual root path for IIS Web sites.

The generated files are saved under the applicationName_root\File\Session\SessionID\currentInitialDirectory or the applicationName_root\File\User\UserName\currentInitialDirectory directory, where currentInitialDirectory is a directory that you assign at design time for the Web Forms application.

Note: The IIS server administrator can change the default current initial directory by modifying the PBCurrentDirectory global property in the ASP.NET Configuration Settings dialog box or in the web.config file for the Web Forms application.
